Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Place eggs in a pot

Carefully place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a medium-sized pot.

2
Add water

Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.

3
Boil water

Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a full, rolling boil.

4
Remove from heat and cover

As soon as the water reaches a boil, remove the pot from the heat and cover it with a tight-fitting lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on your desired yolk consistency.

5
Prepare ice bath

While the eggs are sitting in the hot water, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice.

6
Transfer eggs to ice bath

After the desired time has passed, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water and gently place them in the ice bath. Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for 5 minutes.

7
Peel and serve

Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell all over. Peel the eggs under running cold water, starting from the wider end where the air pocket is located. Your perfect hard-boiled eggs are ready to be enjoyed!
